About a decade ago, Casey and I had the idea of writing papers predicting terrible futures for the academy.

He helped me come up with ResearchFlow:

It was a joke company that promised to let academics install "theoryPaksTM" into their word processors to automate writing.

And of course let admins see how productive faculty were.

The future is now, apparently.

@rwg @darius the idea was to patent the worst ideas and then become patent trolls for good.

We were turned down by several journals for a special issue on the topic that would serve as the conceptual base for making the patents. lol.
